Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

The whole Scarface/"If the cops bring the hammer it would be Custers last stand"/Photo on that external page (about the character THAT I REALLY WISH I DIDN'T SEE)/Machine gun out of town (on his own) in the flash-forward/Walt questioning Mike's extra deductions...all point to a Walt self aggrandising and self destructing...but it points to it too easily, like it's more telegraphed than any previous storyline.

I actually think Skylar will possibly not be able to deal with the pressure and spill all to Marie or Hank.

(Btw, does anyone else think that (the actress that plays) Skylar looks all a bit different (plastic surgery/botox different)? But I digress...)

Lost a ton of weight, she was mostly pregnant before (or still breastfeeding). She looks better for the role, a bit hollowed out.
I feel for her, she lives with a psychopath who'll bring terrible shit down on her family if she doesn't protect it.
Fuck, is Walt sinister now...
 
also it's a stunning lack of awareness of her charchters flaws...

Walt's complete obliviousness to her emotional state in recent episodes had to have played a part in why she finally broke down. He used to be more attuned to her, if only to be a more effective liar, but now it's like he's on another planet and she's completely alone.

yeah poor her... who was it that in retaliation for not being told something started an affair behind her supposedly dying husbands back at the time... really she wonders why her characters been cut adrift by her husband... it's also so lazy to say it's cos they have vitriol against her for no reason, the reason is she was utterly uncompromising, controlling and downright nasty to him when she thought he was dying of cancer... as soon as she finds out he's not instead of relief she then plays the well you had no right to keep that from me card I'm taking the kids you shit... then she finds out about the drug dealing and wants something to call her own in the form of the car wash which she gets (not seeing that all along she'd benefited from Walts actions in getting paid to put bread on the dinner table) at no point has she stopped to say hang on he did this cos he cares about his family and thought he was dying and now the poor fucks over his head but cannot back out or the family will be fucked so he's in a worse place than he was to start with and she has just had her hand out for more...

It's not cos people are sexist, it's cos Skyler has at every opportunity as a character turned her back on her husband in the most cruel manner... not once, ever, saying hang on he's dying or was dying when he made those choices. It's her absolutist inflexible stance which has turned viewers against her not misogyny... and that's not to condone Walts lying cheating and cocking about, but at least he's got the excuse of I thought I was dying... what was her excuse?

like i said the writers don't like women in this show... never have done...
 
mm, at least one interview has strongly implied that it really is his 52nd in that shot. Could be well be utter misdirection of course, but it could be real
 
I find Skylar annoying, she's a your standard hypocrite, wants to still cling to the delusions of conventionally cookie cutter morality whilst pretending she isn't as up to her neck in the shit as anyone else. She's like Carmela Soprano without any of the redeeming features that make her a sympathetic character. Skylar is far too protestant.
 
Also I think it's just her face more than anything at the moment, she has that waxy plastic look going on, she looks dead inside.

She's lovely. Great in Deadwood too.

since the 3rd series she's had serious botox/plastic surgery face going on, she should marry Funkhouser

fucks sake, somehow you've managed to become even worse than Garf! Skyler colder than Carmela??!! Madness

Maybe it's the catholic /protestant thing, but Carmela has more warmth to her, she obviously loves Tony through all the shit, Skylar fucking bailed on Walt with her boss at the faintest sign of trouble, which in itself wouldn't be an issue if it had been done out of any kind of real feeling or passion, instead it seemed like it was about punishing Walt.

Maybe it's her fucked up botox face but she comes across as a dead eyed husk to me.
